James was predeceased by his three sisters and his first wife, Jacqueline Frances Simpkin and is survived by his beloved wife of 18 years, Louise McConnell and his younger brother Jack. He leaves seven children, twenty grandchildren, twelve great grandchildren and a large extended family.

He will be sorely missed for his humour, heart and sage advice.
